My new iPod

Joey bought me the new itouch ipod http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/ which is so cool. We love it. I had my babysitter Justyne set it up for me Wednesday while she babysat. Joe and I as well as Adam and his wife Anna were at the new house getting it ready for our new tenant to move in Saturday. The house is looking fabulous and we feel blessed to have it rented.

Mason told me a cute Knock Knock joke this morning. "Knock Knock" "Who is there?" "California" "California who?" "I miss my Aunt B". Maybe only Aunt B will appreciate it but I thought it was darling and worthy of making it into the blog.

We are running in the Leprechaun Scurry tomorrow, a 5K fundraiser for the local high school. I am enjoying getting into running. I have bought new shoes and a new outfit which is also fun! :)
Nothing like rewarding positive behavior even if its just yourself.

The boys are so into Joe right now that I am worried how they will do with his next absence. He leaves Sunday for 17 days. Hopefully it will go quickly and we do have Aunt B's visit next weekend to distract us. I am really looking forward to it. I can't wait for her to see how much the boys have grown and changed. Today I am noticing that both boys' pants are too short. I guess I need to go through all their clothes again and rotate out the ones they have outgrown. This is often fun for me as I like organizing but it is also a bit sad as it is such a tangible reminder that they are growing up.

I was just thinking this morning how different the boys are from each other. Mason had climbed out of the crib by 22 months. Talan is 25 months and has shown no interest in trying to climb out. Last night he crawled into Mason's bed and wanted to sleep there. It was very sweet that they wanted to sleep together but I knew that wouldn't truly work out. It is getting me thinking that maybe they would enjoy sharing a room. I wouldn't do this until Talan had busted out of his crib because obviously there is a whole bunch of issues that crop up once they are able to roam around instead of going to sleep.

I am going to explore a school this afternoon that both boys could attend. What an exciting idea! I spend so much on babysitting while I am at school that this really makes more sense. Joe and I both would like more breaks from the kids and a school setting sounds more ideal to me that just babysitters all the time.
